Wilcox, of Louis burg College says; "There seems to be an impres sion in some Quarter that a stu dent will not receive full credit at a university or a college which he attends after leaving Louis burg College. '?This is a mistake. Every course which Louisburg College offers receives credit in every un iversity or ^four year college In North Carolina. We have lettees from deans, registrars, and pres idents of these institutions stat ing this fact. "Our new courses in Agricul ture and Industrial Arts were made with the assistance of heads of those departments at State College and they receive full credit. The same is true In our literary and science courses throughout. "The College administration would appreciate the assistanoe of our friends in overcoming this mistaken Idea which perhaps took root a number of years ago when the College was not fully credi ted."

L KIWANIS ENDORSES TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL Upon invitation. Dr. R. P. Tar borough, County Health Physi cian, told the Kiwanls Club re cently why he wanted Franklin County to have a small tubercu losis hospital and preventorium (or children. He stated that all of us are in constant danger of being infect ed. Some of the people with tu berculosis not only endanger their immediate families, but by cough ing and expectorating in the streets and presence of others, ex pose them to the disease also. Tuberculosis is highly contagious, the Doctor said, and servants, cooks, and nurses for children of ten are carriers and spreaders of the dangerous germs. The recent clinic examined 56 persons and found 20 active cases in this county. According to tested statistics, however, there are always 9 active and 9 arrest ed cases for each death from t.b? and as there were 8 such death last year, there are probably 144 cases in Franklin County at this writing. The State Sanitarium will not accept advanced eases Cases that can be treated successfully be cause in the early stages, often hare to wait several months be cause of crowded conditions. Meanwhile of coarse, young chil dren and adalts everywhere are being exposed to these cases. A County Hospital would seg regate advanced^Ases, would keep mild cases until they could enter the State institution, and would include a preventorium for treat I ing children who have t.b ten dencies. - The Kiwanls Club unanimously endorsed the negd for such a county hospital, a ad resolved to do all they could to acquaint the general public with the danger and need of this situation.

Subscribe to The Franklin Times $1.50 Per Tear In Advaace /? Eastern : Carolina farmers who hopefully followed opening sales of tobacco on the warehouse floors of 14 New Bright Belt mar kets Tuesday seemed neither de pressed nor jubilant about the prices paid for their leaf ? prices that ran $2 to $3 above last sea son's averages. They watched perspiring buy ers. lock-stepping down the long rows of baskets, bid for their sea son's work at rates ranging from 1 cent a pound for greenish, brown-spotted lugs to 60 cents for golden, full-bodied wrappers. An unofficial estimate of the price average for the entire belt was around 23 cents, as compar ed with the average of _20.86 cents paid for all ofctjhe 1935-36 new Bright Belt crop. Averages and poundage sold were reported from the various markets Tuesday night as fol lows: Kinston, 800,000 pounds at 24.52 cents (estimated); Wallace, 67,274 pounds at 18.35 (official); Wilson. 1,100.000 pounds at 25 (estimated); Williamston, 205, 000 pounds at 22.50 (estimated); Tarboro, 98,166 pounds at 21.93 (official): Ahoskie, 200,000 pounds at 26 (estimated); Farm ville, 450,000 pounds at 24 to 25 (estimated); Washington, 152, 768 pounds at 24.90 (official); Rocky Moui{t, 800,000 pounds at 22 (estimated); Robersonville, 171,794 pounds at 25.93 (offic ial); Greenville, 978,176 pound9 at 22.66 (official); Wendell. 160, \ 544 pounds at 24.25 (official); Smlthfleld. 187,626 pounds at ! 27.3 (official) ; Goldsboro. 132. 066 pounds at 22.87 (official). (The New Bern market is not operating this season.) Getting their heads together over the baskets. examining price tickets and btnyllM of tobacco, the growers Tuesday compared those prices with last year's fig ures and with averages on th"& Border Belf'markets. "Prices are better than last year," most of them agreed. "As ' good as 1934," asserted one en thusiastic grower at Greenville. Others shook their heads but didn't turn their tickets. Last year's average for 283. 825.354 pounds sold in the New Bright Belt was 20.86 cents, the best price in eight years, except fofr that of 1934-35, when AAA control boostad the figure to 28.44. Hopes for high prices this year were based on averages of around 25 cents from the Georgia and Border belts. The general opinion of both farmers and warehousemen yes terday was that common grades of leaf were selling lower than last year and lower than prices this season on the Border; that medium and higher grades were equal to or better than those paid on the earlier-opening markets. Some cheap, discolored lugs found no takers, at all. "There was so much sorry to bacco raised," said a grower at FarmviUe. "That's what hurts the average." Yesterday's offerings included a high percentage of lugs and first primings, but a Rocky Mount warehouseman called them the best that the farmers had to offer. Government Grading At Farmville and Goldsboro, government grading, undertaken for the first time after a referen dum of growers was laying a basis for growers to Judge the value ot their crops. Walking ahead of the chatter ing auctioneers and furtive buy ers, the government graders were marking a grade on the ticket on each pile. The grades are arrang ed in five groups with five quali ties for each group and three colors for each quality. Average prices paid for each grade will be compiled daily and copies of the prices will be furn ished farmers the following da7 in order that they may judge the value of their offerings according to grade. An average price for the New Bright Belt ot 25 to 29 cents has been predicted by Dean I. O. Schaub of State College. Reduced In amount by drought and disease, the crop was expected by many growers to bring increasing prices as selling proceeds, though (ome feared that poor quality plight hold down the average. Affected periodically by unsea sonable weather, tpttacco appear ed lighter than last season. "Look at that pile there? 133 pounds." said a Rocky M~onn? "sales man ager. "It ought 'to Weigh 200 pounds." The Vance' County Soil Erosion Control Adulation has been or ganized and f* now negotiating : for the purchase' of a tractor ahfl Iterristog.HJtt,.
